“The world is going back to traditions. Caning is a Quebec tradition that we had somewhat lost,” according to Carlos Barbosa of Charcuterie Campagnard at the Marché des Jardiniers in La Prairie.

Other products, such as squash, do not need to be canned because they remain good for consumption for a long time.

“Just put them in a dry place away from light,” says our expert.

This is also the case for onions, leeks, French shallots and carrots, in particular.

To keep your fruits and vegetables longer, consider making jams or “freezing them as is”.
